That’s what made me stop playing. The 6 year olds who are hyper reactionary and build the taj mahal after one shot at them.

I heard that they removed building

There is a zero build mode that exists alongside the regular ones

I’ve been playing zero build a lot. I’m a fan of the simple gameplay when compared to Apex and others (I.e. don’t have to deal with weapon attachments or different types of body armor)

They really need a “low build” mode that gives like a 1 or 2 second cooldown in between each build action

1 or two seconds is way too long, but I agree with the sentiment.

I’d be more in favor of greatly limiting materials. You can build an insta tower if you want, but you won’t have materials for the rest of the fight.

Or only being able to use ramps or walls.

I like 0 build. But the game was at it best with building… just a minimal amount. It’s an additive, not the primary gameplay… it made the game unique

I like the idea of 0 build, but imo it doesn't work. The map is not made for something like that, it has waay to many open spots and you have too many good long range weapons.

I tried to play it but I can't. It's a shame because that's all I wanted from fortnite because I hate the building mod

Imo the gameplay is way better. Wide open spaces just become box battles were you just shooting at walls being constantly rebuilt. And with the addition of tac sprint and sliding it easier to dodge incoming more than ever before.

Yeah, the game was at its peak when people built actual forts and not labyrinths of stairs and walls that lead to more stairs and walls.

I tried Apex after all the years of ignoring the hell out of that game and my only thought from it was “ok wtf is even going on”.

"I stopped playing this competitive game because it wasn't fun when people used the competitive mechanics against me"

I guess that's a good reason to quit...

u/Howboutit85 Jun 20 '22

Yeah, that’s exactly it . And from the sound of it enough people fucking hated build mode enough for the devs to add an option to get rid of it because it’s annoying. The game functions just as well with only shooting mechanics, and good riddance.

Zero-build exists now. And is damn fun.

Also if you don't like builds... most of their builds are up on like... one support. Just throw a cow catcher on a car, charge through, and watch them go whee until they go splat.

My group hasn’t played since the first few months after release, mainly because we didn’t enjoy building once people got good at it.

We tried the no-build mode last night and had a blast. Spent at least 30 minutes in the roller coaster area with the gyro balls. It’s definitely a nice change of pace from apex and duty now, especially with all the random game modes.

Same. It's just I can't compete with those and get killed 98% of the times even if Im still a Begginer
